There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

To tell the truth, Xu Shuo was quite surprised that so many people had turned back. Because he had only noticed the dead sailor, as for the others, thinking about it now, their actions in his perception at that time were actually blurry. Had his cognition been confused at the time? And he hadn't even realized it. With this thought, Xu Shuo's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he turned to look at the still motionless black ship. Suddenly— Xu Shuo whipped around, only to see the bottom of the Daping Hao's cabin floor instantly pierced by something. Before the sailor, kneeling on the deck with his head in his hands, could react, his chest and abdomen burst open! Blood and guts immediately spilled all over the place, but were swept clean in the blink of an eye by something, leaving behind only a corpse with eyes wide open. The sailor standing beside him hadn't even noticed. Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment. He had noticed, yet he hadn't seen anything. The thing's movement took less than two seconds; in the blink of an eye, that sailor was gutted and dead. At that moment, Xu suddenly turned her head as if sensing something. "Ah!!" "Ah!" The next moment, the screams erupted not only from her but also from another sailor who had also lowered his head to look. But the sailor's reaction was even more terrified than Xu's, going entirely limp, trembling on the ground, his fingers shaking as he pointed at the corpse staring back at him. "Another… another one dead…" This directly ignited the emotions of all the crew members! The people who had turned back rushed over, some clinging desperately to Old Zhou, others embracing his legs and weeping bitterly. "Boss! Save me! Save me!" "I don't want to die!" "I still have parents at home to take care of, I don't want to die here!" "Please save me quickly!" Old Zhou, surrounded and having his clothes pulled by several people, remained unmoved, his brow deeply furrowed, his gaze like torches scanning the crowd, his stern face commanding respect without anger. Yet when his gaze met Xu's, Old Zhou gave her a reassuring smile. This behavior immediately made some of the more astute sailors realize something. Right, Boss Zhou's granddaughter was also on this ship; he definitely wouldn't let anything happen to his precious granddaughter! So they also definitely had a chance to leave the sea! The sailors' fear subsided slightly, they looked at Old Zhou with nervous smiles, saying, "Boss, what should we do next? We'll definitely follow your orders! Whatever you tell us to do, we'll do!" These sailors had been at sea with Old Zhou all year round and actually had a decent mentality; they wouldn't normally become so panicked. It's just that, under the current circumstances, they might not be able to stay calm. Old Zhou sighed and said, "Then let's try again. Full sail! Everyone follow me into the deck room!" The sailors immediately complied, rushing to the mast house and the deck room, not daring to turn back to look at the black ship beside them, no matter how tempting it was. As for the corpses on deck and in the cabin. Under Old Zhou's orders, two sailors, gritting their teeth and trembling with fear, dragged them and threw them straight into the sea. The water rippled, swallowing them up. Afterward, everyone quickly ran inside. As if they were avoiding a ghost chasing after them. Throughout this entire process, Xu remained in a hesitant and bewildered state of shock. She saw the helmsmen walking with their heads buried in their chests as if dreading something, she watched as her grandfather and several helmsmen threw their former comrades into the sea without a shred of pity. After that. The Daping Hao changed course again, sailing into the unknown waters under the bright starry sky. No one saw. The black ship followed like a shadow. ... When Xu eventually came to her senses, she felt her body was incredibly cold, and her chest seemed to be squeezed by something that made it impossible for her to breathe. As the sea breeze blew, she involuntarily shivered. "Everyone, what's going on?" Xu asked in a daze, addressing Xu Shuo. In the midst of the recent commotion, the two of them seemed like outsiders. They stood quietly by the ship's railing, against a backdrop of pitch-black sea and sky, surrounded by a bustling crowd—arguing, shouting, moving about. Those people were right beside them, but at this moment they seemed extraordinarily blurred. Xu couldn't even make out their faces clearly; everyone seemed so unfamiliar to her. Including her own grandfather. The only clear figure was the young man standing before her. He always had a faint, distant smile on his face, with refined and gentle features, and eyes as dark as a serene, fathomless pool that seemed calm and tranquil when they met her gaze. Xu's fluctuating emotions suddenly calmed down. She looked out at the peaceful sea and asked again, "What happened while I was asleep, can you tell me?" Xu Shuo smiled: "You're probably the person who doesn't need to know about these things." "What do you mean?" Xu was puzzled. "That guy earlier did have a point." Xu Shuo gently extended his hand and twirled a lock of her hair that was dancing in the wind, whispering with a light smile, "It's incredible that a time like this could produce someone like you." Xu's eyes widened as she stared at him, completely forgetting to react. That was until a scream suddenly erupted from the deckhouse once again. And that scream served as a fuse. The flame of fear completely ignited the entire ship, plunging the Daping Hao into the Abyss, with no way back. "Ahhh—!" "I can't take it anymore!" "I want to go back! I don't want to stay here anymore!" "Another one's dead! Another one's dead!" "Hahaha, we're all going to die!" A sailor wailed as he rushed out, disregarding the vastness of the ocean in front of him, and tumbled overboard, his figure quickly engulfed by the dark sea. The sailors who ran out after him looked ahead in terror. He stared at that tattered, decaying, and eerie black ship, clutching his hair tightly as he screamed in utter despair! The sound was so anguished, so piteous, a voice violently torn from shrill vocal cords, akin to the agonized howls of Evil Ghosts. Xu, who witnessed these events, stood by the railing; she was so stiff with fear that she dared not move. At that moment, Old Zhou emerged from the cabin, expressionless. He reached out his hand to Xu: "Xu, come over here, don't stand over there, it's dangerous." Her grandfather's call prompted Xu to move her feet subconsciously, but after taking just two steps, she suddenly stopped, then turned her head to look at the young man who still leaned quietly by the railing, gazing at the sea. "Xu?" Her grandfather's voice sounded once more. Xu looked at the young man with a hesitant expression but didn't wait for him to turn around. She could only continue walking towards her grandfather, though her feet felt as if lead had been poured into them, dragging them with slow movements until she reached Old Zhou's side. Old Zhou immediately pulled her towards the cabin, admonishing her, "Xu, you stay put in here, alright? Don't come out unless Grandpa calls for you, got it!" Xu was pushed into the cabin, and grasping at the door, she asked anxiously, "Grandpa, what exactly happened? Why is everyone..." Why does everyone seem to have gone mad? Old Zhou's face was stern, and his cloudy eyes fixed on her: "Remember, don't come out unless I call for you, no matter who else does! No matter what happens outside, do not come out! Remember!" "Do not come out!" The last command faded away with the heavy thud of the closing cabin door. ...
